Bullish abandoned baby
BullishAt the end of a decline a doji sits alone, gapped away from both neighbours, and the next green bar gaps back up — the strict form of the morning star and one of the rarest bottoming signals
Most patterns resolve their way only 50–60% of the time — nearly half miss.

How to read it
At the end of a decline, a doji sits completely alone: gapped away from the bar before it and the bar after it, overlapping neither. The isolated doji is the 'abandoned baby'.
Same shape as a morning star, far stricter conditions — a star only needs a small middle bar, this needs real gaps on both sides. That rarity is why it reads strongly when it does appear.
Crypto charts trade around the clock and almost never gap, so this is structurally hard to find there; it belongs to the stock session's close-to-open seam.

A window SQMATE's detectors actually flagged in past bars. It records a day that worked out — the same shape doesn't always resolve the same way.
On SQMATE
No more eyeballing charts
You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.
SQMATE draws the lines
Support lines, trendlines, channels — the lines you need to read a pattern are drawn for you, so no time goes into drawing.
Patterns aren't the whole story
The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
